Great information!! I'm going to start on the summer leaves, and I didn't know about curing, thx👍... ReSprout is ready for primetime - you have great camera presence and post-production!!
Welcome home, we've missed your informative videos. I had sweet potatoes fries for the first time a couple of weeks ago and OMG they're delicious!! Who would have thought one vegetable could be so versatile? Thanks for the tip on the greens.
Great detailed video and excellent harvest. Love it. Very interesting to see how you manage to get these plants to effectively growing in different seasons.
OH, WOW! I live in Missouri and never heard the tip of cutting the leaves first and harvesting a few days later to toughen the skins. I was going to harvest the potatoes today, but I'll follow your tip and let you know what happens. I hope it works. 🤞 I'm going to feed the leaves to the goats. 😉🐐🐐🐐
Thanks. First time growing SPs. I'm in Zone 7 and it's November 10th. Frost coming soon. Planning to harvest tomorrow, November 11th. Your post was very helpful. I have a green house on my rooftop deck so I'll cure some of them in it to see how this goes. Question, can the soil from growing SPs be re-used?
Excellent tips. It was very informative. Thank you. I use to use a small space heater with a glass of water. Now I use a baby humidifier. They both worked well.
Thank you for the advice about curing the sweet potatoes. I could not help but chuckle when you referred to 70-75° Fahrenheit as toasty warm. 70-72° is considered the sweet spot for indoor temps here in Alabama, and the A/C gets a workout trying to keep it there.
Haha! My husband agrees with you wholeheartedly. He’d keep the house at 60° year round if it were up to him! Summertime for me involves a lot of indoor hoodie-wearing in order to deal with everyone’s A/Cs. 🙃
Ooo April, perfect name for a green thumb.. I've never had success with sweet potatoes.. 🥔 I had no idea that they could be harvested throughout the stages but makes perfect sense. This encourages me to try again.. We have good volcanic soil here, good for spud growing, but I have a bit of trouble growing those as well.. Hmmm, I'm definitely taking in what you're saying about the soil temperature. And unless I'm going to dig a trench of lawn clippings, to act as a heat bed under the potatoes, I think I probably need to wait an extra months before I put them in
OMG Victoria, I'm so sorry. I could have sworn I responded to this comment! Actually all my sweet potatoes are already eaten, haha! Thank you so much for the offer!
Ha! These are my most challenging crop to grow! Tried last 2 years with abysmal results (nothing bigger than a pinky finger). Not planning to try again. Zone 5b. What's your zone?
I'm in 7A. With the sweet potatoes, like a lot of root vegetables, I think soil looseness and quality really helps. This was the best luck I ever had and I used potting soil in containers this time.
Hmmmm... brown stem makes me think the greenery is dying in which case the root will not be far behind. Try digging one up and seeing what it looks like. If the bugs are really bad and the roots are big enough to eat, I'd just harvest them all and plant a fall crop. That's how it goes sometimes!

A lot of crops are like that actually! Very forgiving. 😃
Very informative 🤗🌱🍠🍠🍠👍
Great video on sweet potatoes! They grow like weeds here in Georgia so I always have an abundance of sweet potatoes. lol
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
What zone are you in? Thanks for the great video!😊
Nice work.keep going
April where on LI are you? I’m in East Islip - you are welcome to cure your sweet potatoes in my greenhouse! Humid and warm lol
OMG Victoria, I'm so sorry. I could have sworn I responded to this comment! Actually all my sweet potatoes are already eaten, haha! Thank you so much for the offer!
Brava!
Hi April, can I freeze after curing them to preserve?
Yes, definitely! I should have mentioned that in the video!
What’s the app you used in the video to Mark the the calendar date of when to harvest?
It's Google Calendar. It's free!

Another double duty crop: dandelions, enjoy!
Oooooooooooh! You're right! The leaves, flowers, and roots! And I already have them all over the place in my "lawn". THANK YOU!
Super interesant 👍 like 🤗
hi nice video
My sweet potato plant stem towards the bottom is brown.. n there’s white looking bugs. S my potato infected is it okay?

What state do you live in? What’s your gardening zone?
I'm in New York in the U.S., zone 7A.
you're stinkin' adorable
